This game is awful. 100% awful. The story is good, from what little I was able to glean. But the actual playing of the game: awful. The fighting mechanics is very cumbersome. You can't heal after a fight. You have to find a safe place to heal and you can be killed just trying to get to said safe place. The game is not intuitive. You have to make a lot of trial and errors just to eventually go on to youtube and watch videos on the most basic element of an RPG game. The fighting system is cumbersome and confusing. It's difficult to tell where some of the loot is because it blends into the background. Just picking up loot can be an experience, if you push the action button too soon. After 7 hours of game play and mounting frustration, I said enough. Dragon Age: Origins is a much better game. This one, save yourselves some frustration. Put the game back in the box, get your money back and go play a more rewarding game.
